Billionaires are narcissistic psychopaths. Can you imagine having enough wealth to literally end everyone’s financial worries and instead happily kill poor people to add a few more dollars to your hoard? Why do people with no money worship these assholes?

So, I’ve been following events in the US very closely for days on end. What has happened in the last 2 weeks is beyond anything I could have imagined in my worst dystopian nightmare. If Agent Orange and fElon aren’t stopped in the next few days the damage to the people in the US will be irreversible

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

The Census webpage is done. Census data is used to allocate federal funding, congressional representatives and electoral votes.
This is a coup.

As an Autoimmune Neurologist -
PLEASE READ THIS 👇

There is a great deal of “autoimmune” and “inflammatory”pseudoscience being hawked to vulnerable individuals who (understandably) hope their condition can be fixed with antimicrobials/infusions/etc.

I am an immunopsychiatric researcher and I approve this message.

The importance of the immune system as an input/output of so many systems is why it is a critical area of work.

But that is also why we need slow, thoughtful science to avoid harm.

Why inflammatory reductionism is a threat to psychiatry (and the rest of medicine)
A new world-view is emerging, one which attempts to explain all manner of ills as the result of inflammation or immune dysfunction. While motivated by some
